[Philipp Hahn]

Hello Eric,

we have observed the following OOPS with linux-4.9.33 on several
occasions when starting a Docker container:

The same has happened in Amazon-EC2 and on out own KVM servers.

There was a similar bug report in 2016 at
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1572316>, but that
one got fixed with "v4.6-rc7~24^2".

Maybe is has already been fixed by
> $ git l1 v4.9.33..v4.9.52 -- fs/pnode.c
> 54fcb2303ef4 mnt: Make propagate_umount less slow for overlapping mount propagation trees
> bb4fbf094b44 mnt: In propgate_umount handle visiting mounts in any order
> e260db757676 mnt: In umount propagation reparent in a separate pass

but I'd like to ask anyway if you have seen such a OOPs before?

For your convenience here's the disassembly, where I think "rcx =
last_source->mnt_parent = NULL":

> 			struct mount *parent = last_source->mnt_parent;
> 			if (last_source == first_source)

> 				break;
> 		}

We will try 4.9.52 next and see, if we can still reproduce it.
